2029 Islandian Pro Alliance Elite 8 Series

Ruthlandian Union

Rattlers Outhomers Stars 8-7 In RU Elite 8 Opener
In a home-run fest at tiny Farmers Memorial Stadium, the hometown Sugar Valley Rattlers outhomered the Stoner Stars in the opening game of the 2029 Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series... the Rattlers, who led the league with 166 roundtrippers, ripped 5 more today to overpower the Stars 8-7... the Stars hammered 3 out of the park in a losing effort.

3B Johnny Doyle slugged a 3-run salvo in the last of the ninth to rally the Rattlers to victory... Stoner has gone ahead 7-5 in the top half of the inning... Sugar Valley was outhit 13 to 12, but the homers made the difference... 2B Fran Dixon belted a 2-run homer and and 3 others connected on solo shots: 1B Dean Woods, RF Lindsay Deal and LF Tyler White... Dixon led the Rattlers with 3 base hits... he also had 2 doubles... the Stars were sparked by 1B Fletch Fowler with 3 hits and 3 RBIs... RF Neil Mooney with 3 hits and 2 RBIs... and 3B Jeff Henderson with 3 hits... Fowler, Mooney and CF Al Rispone all had home runs.

Each club used two pitchers in the game with the victory going to Rattler reliever Dallas Casey (1-0), who blew the save by giving up 3 runs in the top of the ninth... Casey couldn't protect the 5-4 lead... he allowed 5 hits and 3 runs in his 2 innings... the lost went to Stoner reliever Darrell Geoffrey (0-1), who failed to get an out in the bottom of the ninth and blew the save and the game.

Cain Cans Crushers 2-0, Vipers Win Game One
In game one of the Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series at Lakefront Park in Crystal Lake, Valmara's stylish southpaw Carroll Cain blanked the Crushers 2-0 on a splendid 6-hitter... Cain (1-0) fanned 3 and walked just one to outpitch Arnie Cason (0-1)... Cason worked into the eighth and gave up 2 runs on 8 hits with 4 Ks and 4 walks... the Vipers went ahead in the top of the second when LF Sonny Oliver led off with a double and was driven in by a single by 3B Amos Gallagher... in the sixth a walk to 1B Ron Freiberg and a triple by Cain scored the other Valmara run... Valmara picked up 9 hits in all... 2 double plays helped in the win... in the ninth RF Gerry Kazmarek ended the game by throwing out a runner trying to tag up at third on a flyball... Crystal Lake was missing its leading hitter, CF Herm Taylor, because of a bad hamstring... Taylor led the IPA with a .354 BA this season... he's expected back in a few days.

Valmara pushed Pro Cup champ Waleska to the hilt in last year's Elite 8 Series before succumbing four games to two... could be they may be just as tough on this year's Pro Cup favorite Crystal Lake.

Tycobbian Union

Ninjas Explode Late In 6-1 Win Over Hellcats
The Ginza Ninjas could do nothing with Hartsdale's ace Les Chylak for the first 6 innings of the Tycobbian Elite 8 opening game at Ninja Stadium... Chylak held them in the palm of his hand, stopping them 1-0 on just 3 hits... but that quickly ended in the seventh-inning 4-run explosion... Ginza sent Chylak to the showers with 2 more scores in the eighth.

Ninja starter and winning pitcher Hollis Pace (1-0) put in a fine performance as he held the Hellcats to just one run and 6 hits in 7 inninngs... Pace walked just 2 and struck out 4... Chylak (0-1) lost it as he was tagged for 6 runs and 10 hits in 7-plus frames... Ginza had 11 hits in all, led by 2 hits apiece by RF Sadaharu Uchiyama, SS Russ Van Kleek, C Crash Davis and 2B Howard Winston... Hartsdale got 7 off 4 Ninja pitchers.

Tucks Trim Reds 3-2 In 10 In First Game
Tuckanarra playing at home took game one of the Tycobbian Elite 8 Series 3-2 with some fine pitching from Sam Tate and some clutch hitting by pinchhitter Bill Moody, who singled in the winning run in the tenth frame... Tate (1-0) worked all 10 innings, allowed 10 hits, but just a pair of runs... Tate whiffed 4 Reds and walked only one batter... Errol Gaudet started for Rolling Hills and hurled a strong game... He departed with the score 2-2 after 8 innings... Gaudet permitted 8 hits, struck out 3 and walked no one... closer Bobby Morris (0-1) lost it... he worked a scoreless ninth, but was slammed for 3 straight hits in the tenth to decide the game.

The Blue Jays collected 11 hits to 10 for the Reds... Rolling Hills racked up 2 runs in the top of the second when C Tony Brinkerhoff singled and RF Pat Webb doubled to place runners on second and third... SS Jeff Booker and 2B Buffy Kowalczyk got runs in with sac flies... Tuckanarra 1B Lynn Staff evened it up at 2-2 with a homer in the sixth... Starr, SS Jed Turchin and RF Dunstan Lane sparked the Blue Jays with 2 hits each, while Brinkerhoff and 3B Billy Jones drilled 3 hits apiece for the Reds.
